Hasbro says Activision Transformers games have not been lost

Toy giant Hasbro has said that Activision still has the code for the Transformers games they collaborated on.

In a post on Twitter, Activision Blizzard's chief communications officer Lulu Cheng Meservey said that the reporting on comments made by a Hasbro spokesperson saying that the Call of Duty giant was not able to find hard drives with the source code for these games were on were "wrong".

"We have the code, it's not lost and never was," she added.

In a statement to PCGamesInsider.biz, a Hasbro spokesperson said that the prior comments were "made in error".

“To clarify, comments that suggest Transformers games have been lost were made in error," they wrote.

"We apologise to Activision and regret any confusion; they’ve been great partners, and we look forward to future opportunities to work together.”
